ECBC Raising Funds For Our Missionary, Sue Hegarty

For church members, there are copies of this coupon in the Narthex. For others, you'll need to blow this up.

Just as we did last year, we are planning to mark Sue’s birthday with a fund-raiser (the day before her birthday) to be held here in the Exton area on Thursday, April 7th.

This time, we have made arrangements with the TGI Friday’s restaurant at Route 100 and Swedesford Road in Exton. The restaurant hours are 11 am to 11 pm. The coupon is good for any time during those hours. We do need a minimum of $250 in total sales to make this work, so print out several coupons and share them with your friends… one coupon per party eating at the restaurant.

All you have to do is print the coupon (I'm not sure this works off this blog, but it's worth a shot), take it with you, and present it to the server when you pay for your meal. TGI Friday’s will give 25% of the total purchase, exclusive of tax and gratuity, to Exton Community Baptist Church for Sue’s ministry in Cuba.

For those of you who are not able to participate in this Exton fund-raiser, we suggest you explore the options in your area for a similar event. The national chains are likely to have similar arrangements for fund raising in all of their locaitons. Check with your local TGI Fridays, or other restaurant chains like Bob Evans, Applebee’s and Max and Erma’s. This is an easy way to raise money in that you simply take a coupon to the restaurant and do not have to set a specific time of day to have everyone at the same place.
